Out of more than 4,500 known planet-hosting stars, one surprising pattern stands out. While planets are expected to form around most stars and many stars exist in pairs, worlds that orbit both stars a

Engineers at Northwestern University have created printed artificial neurons that go beyond imitation and can directly interact with real brain cells. These flexible, low-cost devices produce electric

Ants that consume a sugary treat mixed with caffeine become noticeably better at finding their way back to it. A new study published in iScience shows that these ants take more direct routes to the re

Researchers led by Northwestern University have developed a fuel cell that generates electricity using microbes naturally found in soil. The device, roughly the size of a paperback book, produces smal

Human societies have not just adapted to the natural world. They have steadily learned how to transform it. Drawing on research from archaeology, ecology, anthropology, and evolutionary theory, Erle E

Photosynthetic bacteria played a major role in shaping Earth as we know it. Among them, cyanobacteria stand out for producing the oxygen that filled our atmosphere and allowed complex life to emerge.

Researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology of São Paulo State University (ICT-UNESP) in São José dos Campos, Brazil, have found that Moringa oleifera, commonly known as moringa or white ac

Southern California may be home to an unexpected ally in the fight to save honeybees. As commercial hives across the United States struggle to survive attacks from deadly parasites, a distinct hybrid

For more than two centuries, scientists tried and failed to grow dolomite in the lab under conditions thought to match how it forms in nature. A recent study has finally changed that. Researchers from

Here is a substantially reworded, engagement-optimized version for a general audience, with the original facts preserved and a light update in context. Scientists at UC Riverside have identified a ch

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has scored another first, detecting evidence of water in a planet-forming disc circling another star where at least two terrestrial-class proto-planets seem to be for

Researchers have used 3D nanotechnology to successfully grow human retinal cells, opening the door to a new way of treating age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness in the develo

Introduction The US has more than 10 times the number of mass shooting events as other developed countries.1 Mass shootings in the US have increased in frequency, with more than half occurring since

A global study co-led by researchers from The University of Queensland and Harvard Medical School has found one in two people will develop a mental health disorder in their lifetime. Professor John M

A better way to wirelessly charge over long distances has been developed at Aalto University. Engineers have optimized the way antennas transmitting and receiving power interact with each other, makin

We conducted a preliminary assessment by searching for information on GFD, rice, and metals and found that the topic has been barely investigated; only six studies were identified. Therefore, we condu

As such, we propose the repurposing of existing LDH inhibitors to impedegrowth. Here, we evaluate the effects of commercially available LDH inhibitors on the in vitro growth ofusing a standardized gro

When you need accurate information about a serious illness, should you go to Google or ChatGPT? A study led by University of California, Riverside, computer scientists found that both internet inform

New research suggests that the spread of misinformation among politically devoted conservatives is influenced by identity-driven motives and may be resistant to fact-checks. These individuals tend to

To limit the frequency and severity of droughts, wildfires, flooding, and other adverse consequences of climate change, nearly 200 countries committed to the Paris Agreement’s long-term goal of keepin

This section details the datasets used in this study to calculate global population exposure to high concentrations of air pollution. Air pollution data (PM2.5) Rather than consider the cumulative l

Some of the world’s most distinct and ancient animal species, which play crucial roles in our planet’s ecosystems, are exploited for the wildlife trade across large parts of the world, according to ne

This paper examines what individual drivers can contribute to reduce global vehicle emissions in their daily driving. Here we analyse vehicle emissions from the behavioural perspective with the aim of

In hopes of improving the overall survival rate for breast cancer patients, MIT researchers have designed a wearable ultrasound device that could allow people to detect tumors when they are still in e

Emotional facial expressions are an important part of across species social communication, yet the factors affecting human recognition of dog emotions have received limited attention. Here, we charact

Researchers from the University of Tsukuba investigated the impact of 10-min very light exercise on pupil size and prefrontal function. Their findings provide the first evidence that changes in pupil

Just by observing the natural behavior of someone we know well, our brain activity can start to sync up with theirs, according to new research published in NeuroImage. The findings shed light on the f

In the 1950s, Clive McCay of Cornell University and his colleagues used parabiosis to explore aging. They joined young and old rats, stitching together their flanks so that the capillaries in their sk
